Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 1 pound peeled carrots and 1 can (15 oz) drained chickpeas with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the carrots and chickpeas on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes until carrots start to soften and chickpeas turn crispy.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, brush 4 salmon fillets evenly with 3 tbsp harissa paste mixed with 2 tbsp olive oil, and season each with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: After the initial 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the carrots and chickpeas to the sides. Place the salmon fillets in the center of the sheet, skin side down.
  5. Step 5: Return the sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Step 6: Serve the salmon with the roasted carrots and chickpeas, garnished with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing.
